12 AUSTRALAN FNANCE & LEASNG LMTED Notes to the Financial Statements The financial statements cover Australian Finance & Leasing Limited as an individual entity. Australian Finance & Leasing is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Preparation The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Australian Accounting nterpretations Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the MSB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with nternational Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. (a) ncome Tax The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (ncome). Current income tax charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. i t } 12

13 AUSTRALAN FNANCE & LEASNG LMTED Notes to the Financial Statements Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) (b) Property, Plant and Equipment. Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated over the asset's useful life to the entity from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows: Plant and equipment 2-5 years (c) ntangible Assets Goodwill Goodwill represents the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairments losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and is tested annually for impairment. As from 1st July 2010, accounting for impairment of goodwill has been commenced at the rate of 6.67% per annum. Other intangible assets Other intangible assets that are acquired by the company are stated at costs less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. These assets are tested annually for impairment. Amortisation Amortisation is charged to the income statement over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets unless such lives are indefinite. Goodwill and other intangible assets are systematically tested for impairment at each reporting date. Other intangible assets are amortised from the date they are available for use. The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows: Software 2-5 years 13

14 AUSTRALAN FNANCE & LEASNG LMTED Notes to the Financial Statements Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) (d) Loans and Advances Loan and advances consist of direct financing leases, hire purchase contracts and business loans For direct finance leases, the carrying values of the receivable is the present value of the minimum payments receivable plus the present value of any unguaranteed residual value, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. nterest is accounted for by apportioning the minimum lease payments received between principal and interest. Hire purchase contracts and business loans are accounted for on an actuarial basis. Loans and advances are stated at cost less impairment losses. Bad debts are written off when identified, to the provision for impairment losses if previously recognised, other wise directly to operating expenses. (e) Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. (f) mpairment The carrying amounts of the company's assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. f any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. (g) Calculation of recoverable amount The recoverable amount of the company's loans and advances is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Loans and advances with a short duration are not discounted. The impairment of the company's loans and advances is not recognised until objective evidence is available that a loss event has occurred. Loans and advances are individually assessed for impairment. (h) Reversals of impairments An impairment loss in respect of loans and advances is reversed if the subsequent increase in recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment toss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been determined. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. 14

15 AUSTRALAN FNANCE & LEASNG LMTED Notes to the Financial Statements Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) (i) Employee benefits Provision is made for the company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the reporting date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year, together with benefits arising from wages and salaries, annual leave, and other leave entitlements have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled plus related on-costs. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows including related on-costs to be made for those benefits. (j) Provisions A provision is recognised in the statement of financial position when the company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. f the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. (k) Revenue nterest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon delivery of the service to customers. () Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the company. Key Estimates -mpairment Accounting for the impairment of goodwill commenced on 1st July

Loans and Advances (Continued) (c) Classification of credit risk All loans and advances are reviewed and graded according to the anticipated level of credit risk. The classification adopted is described below. Non-accrual loans Without provisions 6,736 With provisions 12, ,000 Specific provision for impairment (12,500) (215,000) 6,736 Past due loans Balance 2,171, ,864 Definitions "Non-accrual loans" are loans and advances where the recovery of all interest and principal is considered to be reasonably doubtful, and hence provisions for impairment are recognised. "Restructured loans" arise when the borrower is granted a concession due to continuing difficulties in meeting the original terms, and the revised terms are not comparable to new facilities. Loans with revised terms are included in non-accrual loans when impairment provisions are required. "Assets acquired through the enforcement of security" are assets acquired in full or partial settlement of a loan or similar facility through the enforcement of security arrangements. "Past due loans" are loans where payments of principal and/or interest are at least 90 days in arrears. Full recovery of both principal and interest is expected. f an impairment provision is required, the loan is included in non-accrual loans. 18

30 NDEPENDENT AUDTOR'S ASSURANCE REPORT N RELATON TO BENCHMARK NFORMATON TO THE TRUSTEE FOR SECURED NOTE HOLDERS OF AUSTRALAN FNANCE & LEASNG LMTED have: (a) audited the design and operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over benchmark information appearing in pages 4 to 6 of Prospectus NO.12 of the entity and the quarterly report dated 20 th January 2012 (the Benchmark nformation) to support the opinion below; and (b) reviewed the disclosure of certain Benchmark nformation to support the conclusion below. Directors' responsibilities The directors of the entity are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Benchmark nformation in accordance with ASC Regulatory Guide 69 Debentures and unsecured notes - improving disclosure for retail investors ("RG 69"). The directors are also responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Benchmark nformation, and for monitoring compliance with the benchmarks. Auditor's responsibilities Audit ofcontrols over benchmarks My responsibility is to express an opinion on the adequacy of design,and operating effectiveness of the internal controls in relation to the equity ratio of the entity (being the ratio of total equity to the sum of total equity and liabilities) cash flow projections of the entity and lending by the entity that are relevant to achieving the control objectives in the opinion below. My procedures have been conducted in accordance with applicable Standards on Assurance Engagements issued by the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board except that the effect of events occurring after 20 th January 2012 up to the date of this report have not been considered. The Standards on Assurance Engagements require that comply with the relevant ethical requirements relating to assurance engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the internal controls have been designed and operated effectively to achieve the control objectives in the opinion below. My procedures have been undertaken to form an opinion whether in all material respects, the internal controls in relation to the equity ratio of the entity, cash flow projections of the entity and lending by the entity were adequately designed and operated effectively to support the opinion below. Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control structure it is possible that fraud or errors may occur and not be detected. have not audited the overall internal

31 control structure and no opinion is expressed as to its effectiveness. An audit is not designed to detect all weaknesses in control procedures or all instances of noncompliance as it is not performed continuously throughout the period and the tests performed are on a sample basis having regard to the nature and size of the entity. Any projection of the evaluation of internal control procedures to future periods is subject to the risk that the procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with them may deteriorate. believe that the audit evidence have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion. Review of benchmarks My responsibility is to express a conclusion on certain disclosures in relation to the rollover approach, on lending of funds and the value of property security, based on a review. conducted my review in accordance with applicable Standards on Assurance Engagements, except that the effect of events occurring after 20 th January 2012 up to the date of this report have not been considered. My review was conducted in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to my attention that causes me to believe that the matters specified in the conclusion below are not presented, in all material respects, in accordance with the relevant paragraphs of RG69. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel, review of documented policies, and analytical procedures applied to relevant financial data. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable me to obtain assurance that would be aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, do not express an audit opinion on the matters that are subject to a review. believe that the review evidence have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my review conclusion. Opinion on controls n my opinion, in all material respects, the internal controls of the entity were adequately designed and operated effectively during the period from 18 th July 2011 to 20 th January 2012 to achieve the control objectives below: (a) The equity ratio of the entity was appropriately monitored and there were no instances where the ratio was less than 8%.. (b) The entity had at all times a cash flow projection covering at least the following 3 months in accordance with paragraph 37 of RG 69. r ~

32 i ~, i (c) The entity had calculated the cash flow projections referred to in (b) on the basis of the assumptions the entity adopted for those projections. (d) Minimum loan to valuation ratios of 80% of the latest complying market valuation for loans were met. (e) The company does not loan to property developers. 1 i Review conclusion Based on my review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to my attention that causes me to believe that the disclosure of; (a) the rollover approach in the Benchmark nformation; and (b) where the entity on-lends funds, policies and other information provided in the Benchmark nformation in relation to loans and lending (including lending to related parties); were not presented, in all material respects, in accordance with paragraphs 45, 52 to 54, and 62 to 63 of RG 69.
